As a faculty at LPU, I would share the eligibility of this programme at LPU. You should have passed with 50% aggregate marks in Bachelors Degree (any discipline) or equivalent. The programme is designed to expose students to all dimensions of Print, Electronic, and New Age Media. As we all know, Mass Communication is a medium of dispersing information to many people. The term is not limited to only journalism but spreads its branches to various other media fields including newsgathering and reporting, film direction and production, event management, public relations, advertising, corporate.
